Younha – The Real Reason Why We Broke Up [KOR/ENG]

It has been quite a while since I last posted on this blog, and I suspect I will never revive it back to its glory/peak days, but I always love to come back to this blog whenever there’s a song that I like [so much that I want to translate it].

I’ve been listening to this song a lot recently; I really love the heavy guitar instrumental and the overall melody. Moreover, a big plus is always being able to understand most of the lyrics without even having to look at a translation or the Korean hangul for that matter. :)

verse 1)
The real reason why we broke up,
would you know it?
It probably has no meaning
to you right now

As [] tried to understand, you, who drew further away 이해할수록 멀어지던 너
I, who rarely didn’t get angry
You and I, who became more tired the more [we] tried

*
That it was only [momentary] excitement, is what you hoped
That [I] was only the first, is how you looked at me
There isn’t any real reason why we broke up
[It’s] just that you didn’t love me
There’s no other reason

oh~
[It’s] just that you never loved me
oh~
Now everything is clear [to me]

verse 2)
The real reason why I loved you,
You probably don’t know
Because if you knew,
You wouldn’t have left me so easily

You, who dreamed of a[nother] new love [with a different person]
I, who dreamed of an everlasting love
You and I, who I find were so different as I look back 바라보는게 너무 달랐던 너와 나

* repeat

**
Your and my love, which is written differently
Your and my last, which remains different
I don’t need to completely forget you [once and for all]
Because anyhow, I’ll be in this remaining place by myself
Just for a little longer

d bridge)
I had a bad dream[:]
I, who returned to and fell in love with you again
I, who received you who had just come back as you pleased again
